The financial and legal ramifications of the high-profile cyber-incidents that happened in the past year send an unmistakable message: data theft is too important for a board of directors not to be involved. The “Cybersecurity and Data Theft Prevention” report provides a non-technical overview every board of directors can use to assess their organization’s security posture.

RSA Technical Brief: The openness of today's networks and the growing sophistication of advanced threats make it almost impossible to prevent cyber attacks and intrusions. This technical brief discusses why combating advanced threats depends on organizations shifting more security resources from prevention to detection and remediation, and developing intelligence-driven security programs.

This white paper shows how integrated security suites can help organizations achieve high security and compliance with internal and external mandates, while also providing lower out-of-pocket costs, simplified management, and no compatibility issues.

The ever-changing environment has offered fraudsters some tactical advantages to probe for holes in the defenses of financial services companies. Conventional approaches to fraud detection and remediation remain effective to a point, but conventional tools cannot effectively and economically process what is known as big data.

Over the past several years data loss and data leaks have been a regular part of headline news. From high-profile hacks of retailers such as Target and Home Depot to inadvertent email data leaks from large multi-national banks to targeted leaks of sensitive government documents, it is becoming clear throughout the private and public sector that data security or the lack thereof is an existential threat to business operations. While there are many vendors focused on data encryption, data masking is actually the single most effective mechanism for an IT organization to dramatically reduce or even eliminate the risk of data loss.

The impact of information is changing and while this change provides great opportunities, it also presents greater risks. Traditional monitoring processes and technology advancements alone no longer deliver effective identification, management, and prevention of business risks, instead the changing impact of information demands early detection and root cause analysis. Learn how leading companies are magnifying exploitation of information security risks, along with advancing identification and protection of compliance risks.

Traditional antivirus (AV) is not the solution to preventing security breaches on the endpoint – it is the problem. AV is no longer
effective at stopping today’s cyberthreats. Although AV satisfies many regulatory, governance and compliance requirements, it saddles organizations with hidden costs while providing little to no real security value.

Great thinkers like Aristotle, Descartes and Elon Musk have said
that, in order to solve really hard problems, you have to get back to
first principles. First principles in a designated problem space are
so fundamental as to be self-evident; so true that no expert in the
field can argue against them.

Exploit kits, which first became popular in 2006, are used to automate the exploitation of vulnerabilities on victims’ machines, most commonly while users are browsing the web. Over the past decade they have become an extremely popular means for criminal groups to distribute mass malware or remote access tools (RAT), because they lower the barrier to entry for attackers and can enable opportunistic attacks at scale. To understand this phenomenon, we must understand the ecosystem that surrounds exploit kits, including the actors, campaigns and terminology involved.
